Default Change of rim color???

I just brought all four new tires for my car, so since im gonna be removing the rim, i am going to change the color to something better then my current bronze rim. Now I know my rims are small cheap BBS rims, but its all I have, and I might as well make them look better. Also I am going to re-polish the lips, as last time i did a shity job.

I'm thinking of changing them from this



to this color to maybe match the car better (its suppose to be gunmetal)



or i'm thinking this to match my valve cover, and 2 red decals i put on my car.






any advice or opinions would be great. By I have no money to buy rims, so paint is my opition. Thanks for the help.

I forgot I have another possible opition, I can go with a set of 15" (brand new) steelies, since I havent brought the tires just yet. I can buy tires for the steelies and get rid of the BBS rims, if anyone thinks thats a better idea.

f you change the color,stick to gunmetal,or black..

Only my opinion,I really don't like most red wheels...unless on a white car for some reason.
